Listen up and I’ll tell you a truth shall I
about crazy hysteria and a convenient lie.
About how the hellish Australian fires
are blamed on “climate change” deniers -
to convince you of global warming
and that the climate is transforming.
About the zealot Church of Climatology
who follow their doomsday cult ideology
and bow to a brainwashed little girl
who preaches the end of the world.
But what they don’t tell you are the facts
for fear of condemnation it attracts.
II
Listen up and I’ll tell you a truth shall I
that Australia has always been wet and dry.
This land of fire, drought and flooding rain
burns and cracks and floods again and again -
thus these fires are not “unprecedented”
such as the bias media misrepresented.
They shout the mantra of “climate change”
but the facts like themselves they derange.
The fires they blame on hotter days
but not the arsonists who set them ablaze,
and not the highly combustible eucalypt trees
that burn faster and hotter by degrees.
III
Listen up and I’ll tell you a truth shall I
about how when fools play wise people die!
And how eco-fascist environmental laws
are the reason the wild bushfire roars -
how the huge forest fuel load uncleared
fed the fires like true nature lovers feared.
The media cry “man-made” destruction
instead of incompetent hazard reduction.
The drought they blame on oil, gas and coal
but not a cooling Indian Ocean dipole,
and now that summer torrential rains fall
that too is climate change they bawl.
IV
First we had the fearmongering Al Gore
who in his crusade got richer and richer more.
They said “mass starvation, crops will fail”
yet we grow on an unprecedented scale -
how more extreme weather events are due
when the data shows the opposite is true.
They crowed the Maldives would disappear
but guess what, 30 years on they’re still there!
They said Tuvalu is sinking as sea levels rise
but satellite mapping showed it gained in size,
and now they bow and pray to Greta who
prophesies death and shouts “how dare you!”.
V
Add Attenborough, another crackpot halfwit
says polar beers are dying out, that’s bullish-it!
Prince Charles, Harry and Meghan spoke
but they are the princes and princess of woke.
Hollywood too, those dumb smug elites
in their private jets full of their own conceits.
Now they speak of an existential threat
and scare our kids into a doomsday mindset -
that civilisation will end in their lifetime
and that to me is an unforgivable crime.
Australia! Your ash and dust is in my veins,
this land of fire, drought and flooding rains.
